Health of American Women and Their Habits
A lengthy discussion argues that lack of outdoor exercise and regular occupation harms American women’s health. It cites mothers, middle and upper class women, and shop workers, condemning tight lacing, heavy skirts, poor lighting, diet, and insufficient female physicians. It praises outdoor activity, air, fresh light, and moderating fashion as health safeguards. It also notes societal stresses, housing, and climate as factors in women’s premature aging and illness.

Grant and Mrs. Grant after capitulation visit New Jersey children
A friend recalls General Grant after Lee's surrender discussing plans with a staff officer at City Point. Grant says he will not enter Richmond but return to Washington to halt the draft, pay sick soldiers home, reduce expenses, and then visit Burlington with Mrs. Grant to see the children before a recalled return to Washington after Lincoln’s assassination. He aims to end burdens of war and hasten peace. The narrative shifts to Bier Nimrood, describing the Tower of Babel site and ancient brick remains amid a vast ruin.

Feat of an Eastern Magician
An Eastern conjurer builds a tall wooden tree on his nose using small wood bits and painted birds. A boy aids by handing pieces as the tree grows to two feet high. The illusion ends with sparing precision shots that topple each bird with a reed and pea, then the tree is demolished branch by branch.
